I have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/grabe\">Pro account for Flickr<\/a> (no limit) and the cost of $25 a year seems very reasonable as I continue to add images.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I read that Picasa was offering unlimited storage (the free version was 1 gig) and investigated. It is a little complicated. The free limit is still 1 gig, BUT <a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/support\/bin\/answer.py?answer=1224181\">smaller images no longer count against this limit<\/a>. My interpretation is that this has something to do with an intended function of Google + (you can now store larger, smaller images if you have applied for Google +), but smaller, smaller images (800 x 800) are allowed without counting against the limit even if you are not interested in Google +.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_1494\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"1494\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.learningaloud.com\/blurts\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sites such as Picasa (and Flickr) offer some storage space at no cost, but if you want to use these sites for storage over a period of time the free allocation limit will soon come into play.
